The Letters In November

Today I met a little girl who reminded me that indeed the secret to HAPPINESS is no secret at all....

Revelry of a Wounded Heart

She was standing there. Looking at the frail frame of a man disheveled by his past. By their past. Those eyes

are mirrors of a long forgotten dream. A tale from somewhere in time. Flickering, flashing like flames of a dying fire. And she softly caught those black, jet black strands of hair on her fingers, shaking...chilled, she finally gave in to the shaking of her shoulders. The dam that kept her from breaking into a thousand tears, a million sighs and a hundred diamond slabs on her heart gave way making her surrender into his shoulders in anguish in love, in anger, in sorrow...all at the same time. The thin frame became a huge cloud that encompassed the sky's vast glass, reflecting touches of rain, of sunshine and dust. And they both cried. Cried and cried and cried until it was night. Until all the pain the regrets, the shadows of doubt were cast in a tunnel of eternity that carried them both into another day....where love knows no time, and takes on all the rhyme...

Blessed

Maragayap Bridge

Today I am alone in our room tapping on the keys. Silence is not my company however as I could vividly hear my children merrily chatting. From the open window I could feel the air gently entering like a lullaby.
And as I stare into the photo I took of one of the bridges in my hometown on the left, see clouds, mountains and trees I feel happiness. I can breathe with ease; I can swallow with no pain; I can smile with no remorse; I can scratch my nose with not a bit of difficulty; I can skip if I wanted to all day; I could shout at the top of my lungs; I could call out a friend's name and I'm sure he or she would come running by my side; I could go on and on with blessings we sometimes fail to see because we are too busy worrying about inane things.

The road to happiness is a road that is always inviting us. We only have to say "yes" ...yes to being trustful that everything we really need has already been set by someone Almighty for us...the air, water, shelter in trees, grasses, sand and soil in which to lay our feet...and our brains which enable us to build shortcuts through huge bodies of water...
